NHL-sesongen går sin gang, og selv om septembers glimrende NHL 16 fikk en sterk karakter av oss i Gamereactor, er det ingenting i veien for at utvikler EA Canada nå oppdaterer spillet med en rekke forbedringer.
I tillegg til forbedringer i selve gameplayet, vil du også få Boston og Montreals drakter fra årets Winter Classics og bedre stabilitet online. Hele listen med forbedringer og nyheter kan du se her:
GAMEPLAY
- Increased attribute effect range to create more player separation.
- Increased range of attribute effects for goalies so that the weaker goalies are further separated from the best ones.
- Increased goalies ability to save slower low shots and passes towards the net.
- Increased referee strictness when teams were already shorthanded so that penalties no longer go uncalled.
- Increased pokecheck success when in proper positions.
- Increased penalties from stick lift at wrong angles.
- Removed the effect protecting the puck has in resistance to being hit (either with protect puck or holding the puck out away from your opponent). Note: Being in a controlled glide with full balance and/or limiting the relative speed of the hit will still be advantageous over skating, performing an action or higher relative speed hits when trying to stay in control.
- Addressed issue where players would occasionally stay in the penalty box for the rest of the game after the end of their penalty.
- Addressed issue where players would not line up correctly when using the aggressive faceoff style during an offensive zone faceoff.
